LightField Studios/Shutterstock.com One symbol located in the natal chart you should know about when studying astrology is called the Vertex.
A Vertex is a controversial topic among astrologers generally considered a point of karmic or fated connection.
Some astrologers don’t bother interpreting the Vertex, while others swear by its usefulness.
What your Vertex sign means:
The meaning of your Vertex depends on the house, sign, and degree of where it is located in your natal chart.
A Vertex isn’t a planet, asteroid, or any other celestial body; it is an abstract point in your astrological chart that intersects the ecliptic and prime vertical points on your natal chart.
This is incredibly important for relationships as we sometimes feel we have met someone we know is going to be important in our lives (whether that be a friend, partner, spouse, etc.).
Destiny, fate, encounters, karma, and wish-fulfillment are all words that are strongly related to Vertex and should give you a good sense as to what Vertex is all about.
When your Vertex is on the same planet or house as another person’s, it reveals attraction.
This attraction is not always romantic, though it can be; it simply means you will have good chemistry and be attracted to each other’s energy.
Some consider these people to be soulmates and while that is sometimes the case, it can also be anyone who is meant to be in your life (for one reason or another) at a specific time for a particular reason.
One way or another, encounters created from Vertex connections are set to alter your life no matter how long that person is in your life.
